Kiwis 2019

[Springs09]

Plays for Samoa now.

Oh yeah

 

[Burns]

Squad as above

Omissions and quotes from NZ Hearld:

"The squad is also notable for the retention of veterans Benji Marshall and Kieran Foran, though Warriors' playmaker Kodi Nikorima misses out."

"Captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was unavailable due to injury, as well as senior prop Jesse Bromwich, centre Esan Marsters and back rower James Fisher-Harris"

"There is also a return for Jordan Rapana, Jamayne Isaako, Kevin Proctor and Joseph Tapine, after the quartet weren't involved in the clash with Tonga in June"

Lol@ Proctor. Also f**k Tetevano

I'm skeptical as to why DWZ and J Bromwich were ruled out. Sounds like club doctors has say there.

When has Proctor been good in the past few years? What's up with Zane?

Can this squad beat Australia?

So proud of my boy CNK. Probably wont get a game outside an injury to RTS, but what a rise for the young fella

His selection is also a big boost for the USA WC qualification since he wont be playing for the Cook Islands.

 

[Matua]

I guess Isaako or CNK will play centre?

Decent team. Happy to see Benji in there, he was robbed of so many test due to the geniuss Kearney and Kidwell.

Yes they can, this team is as good or better than the one that easily handled Australia last year.

They only have one specialist centre so he's a good chance to get that spot with only Hughes and Isaako in competition.

 

[BuderusIsaBeast]

Tohu Harris injured?

 

[Burns]

Tohu Harris injured?

Yeah, been injured most of the year

 

[kiwileaguefan]

And now you can rule NAS out of the kiwis...

 

[taste2taste]

And now you can rule NAS out of the kiwis...

Geez he can throw them, could be heavy weight champion !!

I'd love to know what got him so hot under the collar ...

 

[Walter sobchak]

Don’t you just love international RL

 

[Burns]

Sigh. That's a huge blow for NZ.

 

[Matua]

And now you can rule NAS out of the kiwis...

Is he definitely ruled out?

I hope we don't replace him with a domestic abuser like we did when we stupidly ruled Bromwich out.

 

[Dakink]

Bar owner has come out and he was provoked by someone king hitting another player.
